I was surprised when I found out that the fandom doesn't really like that episode. The scenario is ridiculous, but I always interpreted the episode as being intentionally absurd.. like a sitcom. Like, it was just a silly way to introduce Connie's family/Alexandrite and give us some insight into Connie's character.

This is gonna get buried but almost every scene from "Song of the Sea".

It's such a quiet, beautiful, and underrated movie. It's by the studio that did "Secret of Kells", and I think it's their best so far. It's a story about selkies and fae folk and the loss of a family member and it's just so beautiful I wish more people knew about it.

The first scene where the mother tells stories and sings songs to her son about the fae folk is beautiful. The scene where the little girl finds her selkie coat and goes swimming as a seal for the first time is amazing. There's this scene with giant mythical dogs that I have yet to watch without crying and I don't know why. The final scene where everyone is reunited and the young selkie girl who has never spoken sings the song of the sea to save the fae folk so they can go across the sea is So. Damn. Beautiful.

SU absolutely could benefit from a Beginner's Guide. Especially episodes worth skipping if you aren't sure. Say what you will but episodes like Onion Trade and similar episodes commonly known as "filler" can really turn people off if they're iffy, and S1 is where the grand majority of those pitfalls tend to lie.

An easy way to sort out what episodes to watch is to send them to the rated episode list on IMDB. Watching a couple highly rated episodes in season one will tell them if they want to continue.

Actually, I've been going through the list and I agree with the ratings. Seems like everything rated 9+ is top-tier plot stuff, everything 8-8.9 is serious character/world building, 7-7.9 is light character building and filler, and anything below 7 is Ronaldo, Onion, and Uncle Grampa.

Also, you can probably call on her to watch your kid/s. It sucks that you probably won't get a date with her, but think of it as networking. You watch her kids, she watches yours, you get on good terms with her... She probably has hot friends.

Women's clothing has much more variety, but overall is much lower quality. If you don't believe me, go to a Target and touch a T-shirt in the men's section and a T-shirt in the women's section. Women's clothing is thinner, forcing you to buy multiple layers and it is wears out quickly, making you buy new clothes faster.

What we need is to meet somewhere in the middle. The fashion industry is gendered in a very stupid way.

Look at the way the light is passing through it. Diamonds refract differently than that, which is part of what gives them their fire. There are also several notches in the material that are consistent with something slightly softer than a diamond, and the crystal itself looks like it has a hexagonal configuration, as opposed to a cubic one.

Ah yes, mentally composing Fanfiction. It's the only thing that gets me through hiatuses. You guys can laugh, but I'm halfway through solving Pink Diamond's murder. (It was the secret organization of Pearls. they have plans to take over homeworld. They've been plotting and stockpiling weapons in their gems for YEARS. Luckily, my fangem is going to thwart them with barely any help from Steven.)

I love Beeple! This particular work isn't actually as colorful and intricate as he usually goes! He's got a really great selection of work if anybody is feeling ambitious and wants to go mining for karma.

If this show didn't have spin offs, I would be upset. But shows that directly follow the descendants of the main characters are often bad. Especially when there's a whole interesting culture to delve into.

Mollys are going to want a 20 gallon tank minimum (in the long term). The good news is, they are really easy to find on craigslist for cheap, or you can probably get someone to give/ loan you a used tank if you put something up on Facebook (new stuff will be a minimum of like $150). The tank will need a heater, a filter, and decorations for babies to hide (and some rocks at the bottom, a hood, and a light -- less important for now).

You'll want to read up on how a tank cycle works, but for now just know that regular water changes are super important. Twice a week minimum. around 20% of the water. Ammonia can build up really fast and can kill fishies.

Babies run the risk of being sucked into the filter intake, so wrap a sponge around the intake (buy the cheapest sponge filter media from a pet store to be safe).

Other stuff: air pump, airline tubing, and an airstone. Water conditioner (tap water has some unfriendly stuff). you can buy a water testing kit to check your parameters, although it will mean nothing to you until you read up on cycling. There's soooo much more, but you can save that until everything is up and running.
